A320 descents

Hi there!

Can anyone give me any techniques or rules they use for descent planning to the FAF on the A320? Details I'm after are modes used, points at which you reduce speed, when you intend to get flap 1 out, etc.

I realise that each descent profile is different, so general tips and comments will do fine!! The managed descent all the way to ILS capture is obviously the easiest case, but I'm after ways to cover most dynamic situations.

Cheers!
